Annual Enrollment Period (AEP)
What Is the Annual Enrollment Period?
The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs from October 15 to December 7 each year. This is the main time Medicare beneficiaries can make changes to their coverage.
During AEP, you can:
- Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C)
- Switch from one Medicare Advantage Plan to another
- Add, drop, or change a Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan
Why AEP Matters
Missing the Annual Enrollment Period could mean being locked into your current plan for another year. That’s why it’s important to review your coverage annually — especially if:
- Your medications or health needs have changed
- Your plan benefits or premiums have increased
- You want to explore zero-premium plan options available in your area
